Wireless Body Area networks and Smart IoT Systems for Pervasive Healthcare
Modern
technologies such as wireless body area networks (WBAN) and Internet of Things
(IoT) are expected to play a vital role in many pervasive healthcare
applications. IoT integrated with other technologies such as WMAN could
significantly transform the landscape of health care through uninterrupted and
ubiquitous monitoring and rehabilitation of patients in private and public care
facilities. Many applications in health care such as fall detection, patient
surveillance, early detection of medical diseases/conditions and detection of
smart drug delivery, etc. will greatly benefit the future healthcare
systems.
This talk will present recent
research into developing pervasive healthcare solution using WBAN and Smart IoT
systems. In particular, the talk will highlight key research challenges that
are key to building viable systems for pervasive health care.
About the Speaker
Nauman Aslam is
Professor of Network Systems and Security in the Department of Computer and
Information Sciences, Northumbria University, UK. Before joining Northumbria
University as a Senior Lecturer in 2011, he worked as an Assistant Professor at
Dalhousie University, Canada. He received his PhD in Engineering Mathematics
from Dalhousie University, Canada in 2008. Professor Aslam is leading the Cyber
Security and Network Systems (CyberNets) research group at Northumbria
University.
His research interests cover diverse but interconnected areas
related to communication networks. His current research efforts are focused at
addressing problems related to wireless body area networks and IoT, network security,
QoS-aware communication in industrial wireless sensor networks and application
of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in communication networks. He has led an
Erasmus Mundus Action-2 project titled Sustainable Green Economies through
Learning, Innovation, Networking and Knowledge Exchange (gLINK), which is
funded by the European Union (worth 3.03 million Euros). He has published over
100 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference. Professor Aslam is a
member of IEEE.
